Pam Brown, “Phone Me in Care of the Blues”

phone me in care of the blues.

all this talk of how it could be.
sometimes my cunt is throbbing
like a bass guitar.

you get the people worried for you.
you slip their hearts a song.

then you take them in.
it is your skin which takes them in.
they cling to you like wet cotton clings.

you phone me from six hundred miles.
oh you mean to say you’re lonely now.

sure.    i’ll wait at the tarmac.
sure.    i’ll lunch with you.
sure.    i’ve made this handgrenade sandwich

“ I am tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held. Trying to control what cannot be controlled. I am tired of denying myself what I want for fear of breaking things I cannot fix. They will break no matter what we do.

“The world, a double blossom, opens:
sadness of having come,
joy of being here.

I walk lost in my own center.”

Octavio Paz, from “Concert in the Garden””
